Dinka Dooooooooo - Where are you?????????

Haven't seen Dina in a while. Anyone know where she's hiding? Connie

How funny! I just signed on to check the boards and there I am - up in lights, so to speak! LOL! I guess I musta known you were calling me! I'm doing pretty good - just have had a BOATLOAD of overtime to work the last couple weeks. Finally have 5 days off so we can have my son's 3 year birthday party tomorrow. I have to not spend a lot of time here tonight because I need to get working, but I was thinking about how I have all but stopped posting on all my forums. Boy - life sure does get in the way of my internet fun!!!! On a happy note, I have FINALLY lost 50 lbs as of today. It took forever, but it's finally here. I haven't updated my profile yet, but I plan on putting in an animated gif that shows me morphing down to size. Maybe I'll go put on my current picture at least though. A little later though. I have caught a few moments here and there at work and at home to read up though. So happy Rob is doing better (still have more to read, so hopefully that is still good!) and just wish I could spend more time with you all! Off to read some more posts! Dina

SEE, MY DEAR DINA, IT'S ALL RELATIVE. YOU ARE LOSING AT A GREAT RATE AND I AM DOING SOMMERSAULTS FOR YOU (YOU CAN THANK ME FOR THE VISUAL ANOTHER TIME). JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND WE'RE RIGHT HERE CHEERING YOU ON! Maureen

Maureen - I'll stop right here and thank you for the visual because I'm imagining a SNL skit with the Church Lady doing backhand stands. Shheeeeeya! But 50 lbs actually sucks wind, and looking at comparisons, I know it does. But that's okay. I'm going to get there come hell or high water. I went to thinnerself.com and put in my info on my weight loss and it indicated that I would stop losing at 227...98 lbs. I don't think so. That is just plain not acceptable and I have more iron will than that. I also did the same with another site with the same results. Grrrrrrr! Dina

Dina, I went to the weight loss planner on OH and put in my stats. Much more appealing. I'm either right on the money or a month behind for weight loss (can't figure it out), but the main thing is it gave me a realistic goal for my weight and height and told me how long it should take. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/postopplanner.phtml Connie

Yeah - this one sucks too. They all say I'm going to lose 98 lbs. Over my dead body!!! Dina

Dina, Are you changing the percentage that you're going to lose from 70% to 100% on those calculators? Connie

Yeah - I'm changing the percentages but it doesn't coincide with my current rate of loss. If I use my current rate of loss as a guide, it says I'm going to stop dead at 98 lbs lost. I am NOT listening to them. I *will* get it off. Dina

Wow!!!! 50 pounds is woooooonderful! I bet you just feel terrific, huh? I'm looking forward to the more current pic of you. I had to go get a new driver's license the other day. They're only four buck to replace so I decided that I'm going to go get a new one a couple of more times before I hit goal. lol First time I've not hated looking at the mug shot. Hugs, Connie

Well, our driver's license replacements are quite a bit more expensive, so I am definitely waiting until it's close to the end!!! Dina
